Did you know that Americans discard four million tons of office paper every year and that one ton of office paper equals 24 trees? (For those searching for a calculator, this comes out to 96 million trees–or the equivalent of about 500,000 acres of mature forest!) Furthermore, did you know that the cost of handling, filing, and retrieving a single paper document can cost upwards of $360 a year?

Paper-intensive business processes such as those in Accounts Payable, where multiple copies of documents need to be filed, retrieved, and distributed for approval, can be done electronically. This significantly reduces the consumption of paper and increases workflow efficiency. An enterprise document management and workflow solution such as doc-link™ by Altec Products, Inc. offers companies the ability to eliminate paper-based bottlenecks, increase efficiencies, and reduce paper-related operational costs.
